In a statement on Thursday, the NRA said that Feinstein "has been trying to ban guns from law-abiding citizens for decades."

"The American people know gun bans do not work and we are confident Congress will reject Senator Feinstein's wrong-headed approach," the organization added.

In a sign of the gun lobby's influence, a nine-day sports and outdoor show scheduled to take place in Pennsylvania next month was postponed Thursday because the NRA withdrew its support over the decision by organizers to ban the display of "modern sporting rifles" -- the kind of semi-automatic weapons targeted by Feinstein's proposal.

"How are you going to hunting with something like that?" asked Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, pointing to the assault weapons displayed to his left. "You kill something, there's nothing left to eat."

if you look over on pirate it looks like Harrisburg, PA's Mayor Linda Thompson is the one that put the stipulations on the show. in the first place \\and looking here http://www.pennlive.com/linda-thompson/ she is a big gun ban freak..........

I love how the media just assumes we're all mindless drones for the NRA, doing exactly what they tell us to do.

I'd like to let them know that in addition to that show, I no longer do business with Wal-Mart, Dicks Sporting Goods, or Bank of America because of their anti-gun actions in the past. I made that decision on my own, without any help. I know - shocking ....

Wow is right...!!Shes sounds like a mini-obama.....as clueless as hell...i liked how she refers to the Eastern Sports and Outdoor show as a GUN show.... that comment alone makes me wonder if she ever attended....

Thompson is an active member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of 800 U.S. mayors and more than 900,000 grass roots supporters who are demanding action in the face of the NRA corporate gun lobby in both Washington, D.C. and in the PA House and Senate.

The time to act is now,” Thompson noted, “there is a genuine outpouring of voices, including legal gun owners, demanding real change to make our communities safer. We care about Second Amendment rights but we need reasonable gun restrictions to eliminate horrible mass killings across the nation.

They live with lies and deceit. That's how people like this get into power. If people knew the truth they wouldn't be there. Obama has taught them well, but he is not smart enough to think of it on his own.This is all written down. "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."-Adolf Hitler

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
